Lost Light (Todoroki x Reader)

Chapter 9 - The Cavalry Battle

This is the description of the entire battle. Everything below does not belong to me because since I cannot describe for sh*t so I copy and pasted this from the wiki on the Cavalry Battle. I will tell you when it is actually my writing.

The final countdown concludes and Midnight announces the beginning of the game. All the teams rush Team Midoriya at once. Izuku boldly proclaims that his team will run away, but then suddenly Juzo uses his quirk to soften the ground and force Team Midoriya to sink into it. Team Midoriya escapes by using Mei's jetpack. Jiro attacks them with her earphone jack and Fumikage blocks it using Dark Shadow. Ochaco quirk gives Team Midoriya increased mobility since she's floating everything other than herself and Mei's equipment. Team Hagakure quickly loses their points when Neito swipes their headband in the chaos. A free for all ensues while Team Mineta and Team Tetsutetsu try to corner Team Midoriya. Ochaco attempts to flee, but one of her hover boots is caught on Minoru's sticky spheres. Minoru and Tsuyu reveal themselves, hiding on Mezo's back. Team Mineta attacks using their quirks and Izuku is forced to frantically dodge. He activates the jetpack to free Ochaco, breaking one of the hover boots in the process. Katsuki uses explosions to fly and attack Izuku while in midair. Fumikage is able to block Katsuki's explosion and Hanta uses his tape to reel in Katsuki before he touches the ground.

Seven minutes in, Team Tetsutetsu, Team Monoma, and Team Kendo from Class 1-B control the second through fourth place spots. Every other team, save for Team Midoriya, Team Rin, and Team Todoroki, have lost all their points. Even Team Bakugo falls victim to Neito and Katsuki loses his headband. Neito taunts Team Bakugo and explains most of Class 1-B purposely placed low in the preliminaries in order to observe their Class 1-A rivals. At the halfway point of the game, Team Todoroki confronts Team Midoriya. Ibara steals Team Mineta's points covertly by using her quirk. This prompts Mezo to go into attack mode and rush the two teams. Other teams also attack at the same time. They are all ultimately defeated when Denki electrifies them and Shoto follows up by freezing them in place before stealing their points. Fumikage is able to defend against Team Todoroki's attack, but the shock causes their jetpack to malfunction. With only one boot propelling them, Team Midoriya isn't fast enough to escape Team Todoroki's pursuit. Dark Shadow attacks and Momo defends Shoto by quickly creating a stone shield. Team Midoriya is forced to the edge of the arena, leaving them nowhere left to run. Even so, Izuku formulates a plan to survive their assault. Irate from Neito's taunting, Katsuki confronts Team Monoma and attacks Neito straight on. Neito evades Katsuki's blast and copies his quick before blasting the latter back. Then he copies Eijiro's hardening quirk and blocks Katsuki's follow up explosion. Team Kodai backs up Neito and Kojiro uses his quirk to trap Eijiro by sticking his feet to the ground. Team Monoma flees as Neito continues to taunt Katsuki.

With one minute remaining, Team Todoroki has cornered Team Midoriya. However, Izuku has been able to keep Shoto at bay by exploiting Shoto's refusal to use his left side. Tenya takes control of the desperate situation for his team and debuts his special move: Recipro Burst. In a flash, Tenya speeds past Team Midoriya's defenses and Shoto takes Izuku's headband. The recoil from Tenya's super speed stalls his engines, leaving Team Todoroki immobile. Fumikage suggests the team try to take other headbands but Izuku refuses because there isn't enough time left. Ochaco encourages her team to get their points back and rushes at Team Todoroki. Inspired by his teammate's cooperation, Izuku activates One For All in his arm and charges at Shoto, forcing the latter to ignite his flames as a defense. Mina uses her acid to free her team. Neito wants to let the clock run out but Team Bakugo has other plans. Katsuki jumps from his horses and flies at Team Monoma. Kosei creates an invisible wall of air to block Katsuki, but the latter breaks it and grabs two of Team Monoma's headbands. This moves Team Bakugo into third place. Other teams try to capitalize on the chaos and Neito holds them off by copying Kosei's quirk. Team Monoma still holds fourth place and desires to protect their last headband until time runs out. Even though Team Bakugo holds third place, Katsuki refuses to stop and demands his team fight to get their original headband back from Neito. Mina clears a path using her acid and Hanta pulls their team to Team Monoma using his tape. Kosei attempts to defend Team Monoma with another air wall, but Katsuki blasts through it and takes back his headband from Neito. Team Bakugo moves into second place while Team Monoma loses all their points. Still unsatisfied, Katsuki orders his team to go after Team Midoriya and Team Todoroki. Izuku uses his quirk to slice through the air and take out Shoto's defense. He uses the opening and takes one of the headbands off Shoto's neck, believing it to be the ten million point one. However, Mei confirms the headband is only worth seventy points. Team Midoriya makes one final push and Team Bakugo arrives. They all prepare to clash when suddenly time runs out and the game ends. Present Mic reveals the top four teams one by one. Team Todoroki comes in first and Tenya apologizes for leaving them wide open towards the end of the round. Momo reminds him that his special move is the reason their team won. Team Bakugo comes in second place. Hanta is satisfied with moving on, but Katsuki is the furthest thing from content. Surprisingly, Team Shinso replaces Team Tetsutetsu for third place. Believing himself eliminated, Izuku apologizes to his team. Mei and Ochaco point him to Fumikage, who apologizes for not being able to grab the ten million point headband in the chaos. Even still, Dark Shadow was able to secure Team Todoroki's original headband, giving them enough points to place fourth and advance to the finals.

The writing below is mine 😂

The cavalry battle is over. I didn't have to step in yet but the one on one battles starts soon. There will be a battle where I must step in. As all the students who fought in the cavalry battle returns to their preparation rooms, I walk towards Shouto's room. The door creaks open with a slight push, "Shouto?" I ask, my tone fairly quiet. Shouto turns to me with a slight grin. "Hm? (Y/N), what is it?" He asks, wiping away some sweat from his head. "I just wanted to tell you good job. And here, it's a necklace that my sister gave me when I was a child." Taking out a long necklace which had a golden key on it from my pocket. "It wraps around your neck twice. Also, my brother gave me the other piece to the necklace." I continue while helping Shouto put the necklace on before taking out a necklace with a small silver lock with small crystal blue gems on it's corners. "It's part of a set that they bought for some reason. I never did understand why they bought such simple jewelry."
